Book Description
The author Greg J. Delle has not yet completed his lifetime study of natural humanity and manipulated governed humanity. He and his childhood giraffe friend (Niqynu) travel back through time to when Delle was one year old, to the present, and to the future. Delle depicts how our great inventors, writers, and a host of gifted legends became successful. Despite a system of scarce schooling and academics, they still prevailed.

Delle and Niqynu studied the laws of the Bible, modern school bureaucracy, and the government system - its laws, rules, regulations, fines, penalties, and restrictions.

Just look at all of the mental and physically abused children. His questions are still unanswered. Come and join them on their quest.

Cries of the Panther
Author: Sue Skilton Orrell
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 0578229684
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Cries of the Panther tells the true story of the sexual attacks and ongoing abuse the author suffered as a young girl, perpetrated not by her father but by her next oldest sister’s husband. Sue’s cousin’s misguided conclusion turned out to be a blessing in disguise, however, when Sue broke her long silence. Along with long-term therapy, writing her memoir nurtured the process of healing and rendered her psychic scars nearly invisible. Now her life is filled with joy through relationships, pride rather than shame, and gratitude for all those who supported her in the journey through recovery and into wholeness. “From the first page I was drawn into this fascinating book. The characters, the setting, and the plot are all psychologically compelling. Not only that, but the fact that this book comes out during the #MeToo movement makes this a must-read for all of us.”—Sally Porter-Ross, Ed. D. “A beautifully written book with stories that can neither be forgotten nor ignored in our present day. The landscape of central Florida is so vivid that it is almost like another character, possibly a foreshadowing of themes and scenes of the book. Riveting!”—Elizabeth H.W. Hedges

The Wolf Wants In
Author: Laura McHugh
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0399590293
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
“Calling all fans of Sharp Objects and the third season of True Detective: You need to read Laura McHugh.”—Refinery29 “A perfect thriller . . . a thoughtful commentary on America’s opioid crisis and an utterly satisfying mystery.”—Janelle Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Watch Me Disappear NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LIBRARY JOURNAL Sadie Keller is determined to find out how her brother died, even if no one else thinks it’s worth investigating. Untimely deaths are all too common in rural Blackwater, Kansas, where crime and overdoses are on the rise, and the small-town police force is consumed with the recent discovery of a child’s skull in the woods. Sadie is on her own, delving into the dark corners of a life her brother kept hidden and unearthing more questions than answers. Eighteen-year-old Henley Pettit knows more than she’d like to about the seedy side of Blackwater, and she’s desperate to escape before she’s irreparably entangled in her family’s crimes. She dreams of disappearing and leaving her old life behind, but shedding the past is never easy, and getting out of town will be far more dangerous than she ever imagined. As more bones are found in the woods, time is running out for Sadie to uncover the truth and for Henley to make her escape. Both women are torn between family loyalties and the weight of the secrets they carry, knowing full well that while some secrets are hard to live with, others will get you killed. Like Laura McHugh’s previous award-winning thrillers, The Weight of Blood and Arrowood, The Wolf Wants In is an atmospheric, beautifully told novel that barrels toward a twisting, chilling end and keeps us turning the page to find out how these small-town secrets will unravel—and who will survive. Praise for The Wolf Wants In “The Wolf Wants In perfectly balances gripping suspense with stunning, lyrical prose—a rare combination, but one that seems to be McHugh’s signature gift. Atmospheric and chilling, this novel takes place in the twisted, destructive wake of the opioid crisis as one woman struggles for justice and another for redemption. A truly thrilling read.”—Jill Orr, author of the Riley Ellison mysteries
